The babyhawk is no more complicated than an ergo, in fact the structure is very similar. It is just that you tie the straps on a babyhawk instead of of clip them like you do in an ergo or a beco carrier. In fact they are easier to do than a Hug a Bub with all its crossing over and under and around stuff. Mind you I love the Hug a Bub too. ah if only I could afford to stock all the great baby carriers... hey maybe I shoukld be a baby carrier store nstead of a nappy store? hmm which addiction to choose?........
